Decided to spruce up my portfolio site with a new look, stylesheet, and some improved PHP scripts.

What do you think?

I think there is a problem on the left side of the page.

**flann** · 08-17-2007, 03:12 PM

is that part of your design to have the blue bar on the left hand side? If so, i'm not a big fan of it. I feel that it draws attention away from your content.

**pealo86** · 08-17-2007, 03:26 PM

Yeah it was intended! I think ill change it though, a few people have been confused by it

**coolkbk585** · 08-17-2007, 03:58 PM

Yeah, I think that you should change it. If you look at the way that people will look at the average web site, then you'll see that people don't automatically look at the right side.

You might want to move the main content to the center of the page, and then have that bar on both sides leading out.

man its so good looking, I just cannot get used to the right side alignment. Maybe you should turn it into a Japanese site or something, or flip to and put it in the left or center. Good LUck~

hehe thanks for the comments!

I had a feeling people might get used to the right-hand theme to it. I sort of did it as its not something you see in a lot of websites, thinking it would be pretty cool! lol.

I might shift it to the left, or I may try to think of something to add to it to sort it out.

Center your page like the way I did mine It makes

I got a message from my McAfee Site advisor that says, "When we tested this site we found links to pornpark.com which we found breaches browser security on our test PC." Gasp!!

Agreeing with what others have said, the right-hand alignment is making my brain want to leap out of my head and go hide in a dark corner. Every time I get to the end of a line, my eyes shoot back to the left of the screen. That's what they are accustomed to doing. They like it there. In fact, when I am looking at the page in fullscreen I am actually fighting my eyes to keep looking; they want to go left! I have resized my window to just as large as the site so that I can put it on the left of my screen.

The reason I am harping on the alignment is because there is nothing else to complain about. Your navigation and subheadings are all precise, and though the design is somewhat busy and futuristic it does not detract from the final product. Very good!

Decided to left-align the site, think Ive got it all displaying properly

except for one TINY part of the prices page, that is supposed to have a space in between 2 parts doesnt display in IE6, but thats about it i think!

Precise navigation and subheadings. The design is cool futuristic and does not detract from the final product. Very nice effort. However move the main content to the center of the page.

**guppyman** · 09-13-2007, 09:02 AM

wow, that's is a great looking site.

**Alex Marchuk** · 09-15-2007, 06:14 PM

Not a big fan on websites to the left, but it's clean, and not bad.

**MattCoops** · 09-16-2007, 12:42 PM

Great graphic work

**roboxooo** · 09-16-2007, 03:08 PM

great work ....

**jbladeus** · 09-16-2007, 03:40 PM

Looks nice!

However you may want to change the body text to normal weight. The general rule of thumb is that Bold should only used to highlight important text or in headings. The whole of body text in bold makes it somewhat difficult to read.
